The past 20 years have seen the emergence of groups that focus on scrutinising corporate behaviour. For example, CorpWatch was founded in 1996 to mobilise support for campaigns on corporate accountability. Some of the groups monitor the corporate sector as a whole, while others focus ona single company. For example, Coalition against Bayer Dangers only scrutinises the behaviour of Bayer, a German chemical and pharmaceutical company.

 

These groups, acting as corporate watchdogs are different from the civil society organisations that promote certain values or principles.
